Due to its geographical location, natural landscape and unique climate, Lam Dong - Da Lat has been an important strategic area throughout the ages. In the early 20th century, the French wanted to turn this wild mountainous area into their resort. When World War II broke out, France was occupied by the Germans, and Governor-General of Indochina Decoux intended to build Da Lat into a place of refuge for French officials. In the early 1950s, Lam Dong - Da Lat was the land of the Royal Dynasty, and from 1954 to 1975, Lam Dong - Da Lat was not only a tourist - resort place but also one of the cultural, scientific and technical centers of the Southern government.

Cadres held on, people dug secret tunnels to hide cadres and soldiers, stockpiled weapons and food, cared for wounded soldiers, provided manpower and resources for the resistance... and contributed significantly to the victory of the Great Spring Victory in 1975, completely liberating the South and unifying the country.
